The study of superconformal Chern-Simons theories has led to a deeper understanding of M-theory and a new example of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this talk, I will give an overview of superconformal Chern-Simons theories and their gravity duals. I will also describe some recent work on scattering amplitudes in these theories.
